Info
We sincerely thank the Kanagawa Perfectural Museum of Natural History and Dr. Hiroshi Senou, Japan, for the first two photos of
of living Suezichthys soelae wrasses!
Suezichthys soelae wrasses live in areas of rubble rock and unfortunately are regularly landed as unwanted bycatch by fishing trawlers.
Similar species: Suezichthys devisi
The species name "soleae" comes from French and is a girl's name meaning "the solemn" (French "solennelle" or Latin "sollemnis" = solemn), but also "the sun" and "the sunny" (from French "soleil" = sun).
Unfortunately, the first description "Revision of the Indo-Pacific labrid fish genus Suezichthys, with descriptions of four new species" from 1985 has not been completely digitized, so we cannot provide it as an appendix.
Jumping guard
A jumping guard prevents (nocturnal) fish from jumping out.
Wrasses, blennies, hawkfishs and gobies jump out of an unprotected tank in fright if their night rest is disturbed, unfortunately these jumpers are found dried up in the morning on carpets, glass edges or later behind the tank.

A small night light also helps, as it provides the fish with a means of orientation in the dark!
